FMT $5 +.65 $12 a few weeks ago! Good Forbes article on FMT SOLD Subprime Business!! Financial services provider Fremont General Corp. said Thursday that it appointed Ronald J. Nicolas Jr. as its new chief financial officer to replace Patrick E. Lamb, who resigned Monday to accept a position with another company.

Fremont was hurt earlier this year by the housing slump, which led to increased defaults among its subprime mortgage customers. The company sold its residential mortgage and commercial real estate lending businesses earlier this year, however, and the company now consists primarily of its profitable banking arm, Fremont Investment & Loan.

In May, a well-known bank turnaround specialist, Gerald J. Ford, bought a 20 percent stake in the company and is expected to become chairman once the investment receives regulatory approval.
